Significant and Essential: Communication

Communication is the key. Working remotely limits face-to-face contact between employees and employer but we have new ways to be in contact and help the business grow efficiently. A smartphone or a laptop equipped with internet connection allows the team to have Strategic meetings from diverse locations. The software required for such communication is not so cost consuming anymore. Of course, if we compare virtual communication and face-to-face communication, face-to-face communication are often faster and easier but virtual communication is better than perfect. A virtual or remote communication plays a vital role when there's zero possibility of concerned decision makers to meet before taking some serious decisions.

Probably the most popular virtual communication for teams. The recent version(Chat in this case) of Slack has proven one of the rebellious steps to achieve and conquer company goals in no time. Slack can successfully be the best alternative to your time-consuming mailbox. Slack is very much time and cost-effective so one should obviously give a try.

Skype is going little out of date today but is still an easy and worth tool for video-conferences and online video-chats. Google Hangouts is also a good platform for the same purpose. One should avoid Facebook chats and groups because they are a bit messy and not that professional.

Both this application are popular and perfect and having one of them in the organization is a must. As an employer, you get admin access to all your employees' files in one folder. Even as an employer you have powers to fully remove any member access to particular files/folder with ease
